Chapter 490: Set fire to the mountain
At this time, Kiel Fito's thoughts were flying, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have only one choice at this time.
With his order, thousands of meters away, the artillery units lined up and launched an artillery bombardment towards the mountains and forests in the distance.
The cannonballs that flew out fell into the mountains and forests continuously, and the powerful power easily destroyed the big trees one by one.
In the face of such an artillery bombardment, Wang Meng immediately issued an order: "All retreat and get out of the enemy's shelling range." ”
It is impossible for this kind of shelling to last forever, and the purpose of the other side is only to use the shelling to cover the rush of its own soldiers into the forest.
When their troops approached, the shelling cover would cease to avoid hurting their own men.
What's more, this shell is not a cabbage in the ground, each one is expensive, in this situation where there is no target at all, just to cover up, who can afford to play like this.
The mountains and forests are full of stout trees.
Because of this, the complexity of this mountainous terrain has skyrocketed.
Due to the limitations of this special terrain, the Nordic army, which could no longer maintain an overall military formation, had to be broken into pieces, dispersed into small teams, remained vigilant, and covered each other to advance slowly.
It was also at this moment that the dominance of the battle shifted.
Figures quickly weaved through the branches, swift but light, and the Norse soldiers below were unaware of their presence.
Until the sharp arrows that whistled mercilessly pierced through their bodies.
"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! ”
Amid the shouts, the Norse soldiers scanned around in a panic as if they were frightened birds, trying to locate the attackers.
However, the elven troops hidden in the mountains and forests are not so easy to find.
What's more, there is more than one elven army hidden in this battlefield.
Looking at the Nordic soldiers who had become flustered, another army on the southern border of Great Xia also quietly took action.
Dense gunfire rang out from all directions, and the bullets fired accurately hit the Nordic soldiers.
"The enemy is over there! Fire!! Hurry up!! ”
With bursts of Norse shouts, the Norse soldiers immediately launched a counterattack.
In the face of the counterattack, the troops quickly ducked behind the trunk of the tree to avoid the bullets that came in.
The sudden attack of this army instantly attracted the attention of the Nordic soldiers, allowing the elven guerrillas hiding in the branches of large trees to remain hidden.
In this attack, the two forces cooperated with each other, and it can be said that there was quite a tacit understanding.
Looking at the group of Nordic soldiers below who were staring at the hiding place of the human raid force and firing wildly, the elven guerrillas also bent their bows and arrows one after another, and began to harvest the lives of the enemy.
In this battle, although the strength of the troops stationed on the southern border of Great Xia did not have an advantage for the time being, with the blessing of the terrain and environment, they had the upper hand at the beginning of this battle.
At the same time, because of the limitations of the terrain, it is really not easy for the enemy to get rid of their circumstance and break through their cordon.
Through the information that was constantly transmitted back, Wang Meng, who was always confirming the needle, was also a little relieved in his heart.
According to the current situation of the war, as long as the elven guerrillas and the human raid force have maintained this tacit cooperation and continued to deal with the Nordic army on the opposite side, it is expected that they will be able to buy them a lot of time.
However, just as he was thinking this, several roars suddenly came from the outer woodland, and Wang Meng couldn't help but be shocked.
"Let's go check the situation!" Wang Meng urged the scout beside him.
And at this moment, in the battlefield on the outskirts of the mountain forest, under the impact of the explosion, the flames that splashed out instantly ignited the surrounding trees.
Suddenly, flames rose and billowing smoke rose over the mountain forest.
Soon someone reacted, this is the side of the Nordic army opposite, there are soldiers carrying oil drums!
In this environment, once the oil drum bursts, carrying the fire oil scattered and splashed by sparks, you can imagine how much of a threat it will pose to the mountain and forest environment!
In the surrounding mountains and forests, the fire is spreading rapidly.
After receiving the news, Wang Meng frowned and gave the order to retreat temporarily.
Looking at the current situation, the other party must have brought more than one oil barrel over, and under this premise, as long as their side is strong, there is a risk of detonating the oil barrel, which will lead to an increasing fire.
Looking at the fire spreading in the mountains and forests in the distance, a smile appeared on the face of Kir Fito, who was located at the rear of the battlefield, and the smug color flashed in his eyes.
"Pass the order down and let the troops withdraw temporarily!"
He didn't want his soldiers to die in the fire, and now that the fire had spread, he just had to watch the show outside.
Under the premise that there was no rain for a week, his high-purity fuel oil was the best combustible, and in the blink of an eye, the mountain forest in front of him turned into a raging sea of fire.
Looking at this sea of fire, Kir Fito even began to sing a minor tune.
Really, he needs a win so badly right now.
From the very beginning of the war launched by the declaration of war, he has been suffering from deflated, although he has promised one during his tenure, but from the perspective of interests, that battle can only be regarded as an invincible victory.
If it weren't for the mines, he would have been the one who would have failed in the end.
Not to mention, as soon as he turned back, his own border fortress was breached.
At the beginning of the all-out war, his light cavalry unit was ambushed by the other side and was directly annihilated.
After losing the war one after another, Kiel Fito's mentality can be described as terrible, and the pressure on his body is also increasing.
In this case, one can imagine how important a victory is to him and to the army under his command.
"Burn, burn, burn! Ahh......h
Kiel Fito cheered and laughed in his heart.
However, as time went on, he found that the fire seemed to be under control, and the fire was gradually getting smaller.
"What's going on?"
A general beside him replied: "Emperor, I'm afraid the other party has already cleared out the isolation zone in advance, and in the absence of incendiary materials, this fire may not be able to burn in." ”
This is indeed the case, with the posture of Kiel Fito burning wherever he goes, how could Wang Meng not prepare in advance.
In this piece of mountain forest, he had already cleared out several isolation belts in advance, just to prevent the other party's hand.
Although this hand could not completely prevent the mountain forest from being burned by the fire, it could at least stabilize the fire and prevent the entire mountain forest from being burned down by a single fire.
For this mountain and forest that stood in the way of his army, Kir Fito could be said to be imperative, and it was absolutely impossible to give up so easily.
In the next few days, as the battle continued, Kir Fito had already put on a posture to be ushered in, and his soldiers began to rush into the mountains and forests with oil drums.
There is a separation zone, then he burns it layer by layer.
In terms of troops, as a human civilization, he is not worried about this problem at all, in addition to the main army on the front line, there are 20,000 troops in the rear, escorting grain, grass and war resources to this side.
This time, he is bound to make that damn Huaxia man pay a heavy price!
I have to say that Kiel Fito's hard-hitting moves are still useful.
With the large-scale reduction of the mountain forest area, the presence of elven guerrillas was inevitably exposed to the Nordic army.
Looking at the reports sent in the past few days, if you only look at the number of enemies killed, the garrison troops on the southern border of Great Xia seem to have been winning battles, and their combat results are very good.
Although the existence of elven guerrillas is exposed, with their swift skills, coupled with their swift attack and the use of surrounding trees to hide from enemy attacks, ordinary human soldiers have nothing to do with them.
However, this still does not change the fact that this mountain forest is gradually being burned down on a large scale.
It can be said that this time, Kiel Fito is completely desperate for casualties, wanting to destroy Wang Meng's terrain advantage.
The elven troops, on the other hand, are very dependent on the terrain.
The more complex the environment, the greater the elves' strengths.
But once the mountain forest is burned to a bare mountain, then the elven troops who have lost their environmental advantages will also have a significant decrease in their combat effectiveness.
It is precisely this that Kiel Fito is aware of, which is why his offensive has become so aggressive and tough in the past few days.
The wheels of the cannons were crushed into the scorched earth, and after several days of fire, the Norse army was advancing step by step.
Although the cannon itself was very heavy and difficult to advance in such undulating terrain, it did not stop Kir Fito's follow-up attack.
In this war, he even used the gold-level all-out war token.
What's more, now there is no need to worry about military spending and time, so all kinds of equipment are naturally all brought with you.
Leaving those cannons in the rear for the time being, the mountain cannons designed by my aunt for mountain combat were quickly pushed out.
The next battle will depend on them.
The other side.
A large area of mountains and forests was tragically burned, which made countless elven soldiers angry.
However, as the supreme commander of the Damian Border Force, Wang Meng naturally couldn't let the elves fight with the Nordic army opposite.
With the issuance of an order, after losing the cover of the lush trees, Wang Meng directly asked the elven guerrilla troops to retreat, and quickly moved forward several other troops suitable for strongholds.
The next battle, for the southern garrison troops of Great Xia, the next battle is a truly unavoidable tough battle!
On the side of the Nordic army, a whole army steadily crossed the steep and difficult mountains, and was constantly closing the distance between it and the southern border buildings of Great Xia.
